Plaza Bonita, Concord

4/26/15 - Plaza Bonita, Concord, CA


You could easily drive past this shopping plaza on Monument without stopping. It sits between Costco and Todos Santos Plaza, not far from the Concord Police Department and across the street from the skate park.  Las Montanas is a family-owned grocery store and in the biggest building in the plaza. They share space with Ruby's Nails and Spa, Guanatos Ice cream, a phone store, florist, and some small vendors selling goods like painting and piƱatas. There are also some small rides for children for $0.50, the kind that used to decorate the front of supermarkets.

There are several other businesses in Plaza Bonita. Restaurants include El Yahualica taqueria, Red Onion burgers and shakes, and Chopan Kabob. And there is also a Laundromat, computer repair, Yelena's Signs, and the Michael Chavez Center for Economic Opportunity. The parking lot is shared between all of the business and it's usually easy to find parking, but be warned, you'll probably be asked by someone for change when you get out of your car. A big man smoking a car today asked my husband for change, but had to settle for a smile.

This isn't the kind of plaza I'd go out of my way to stop in, but if youre in the neighborhood, you can find some great food and services, and terrific deals!
